More than 100 people rallied near Regents Park train station on October 20 to demand the Gladys Berejiklian Coalition government restore Sydney's Inner West rail line and maintain the T3 Bankstown line, which it plans to replace with a privatised Metro service.

Labor has promised to lower the cost to passengers of travelling on the train to Sydney Airport and scrap the so-called station access fee altogether for people who work at Kingsford Smith, if it is elected to government next year.

The NSW Government today announced train services changes and improvements from 30 September to help support customers while the railway between Epping and Chatswood is upgraded to for the Sydney Metro.

Thousands of Sydney train passengers face delays of up to three hours as work to replace an old analogue signalling box takes longer than expected, with fears the disruption could have a knock-on effect for Monday's commuters.
